Santa Signs the Cast

Over the weekend, I took the kids to see Santa. I didn't do a photo with Santa, because it costs $20.00! ( I'm looking for a free Santa for that)

Anyway, after Hunter told Santa what he wanted, Santa's assistant came to him with a sharpie pen and asked if he could sign his cast! (see, first broken bone) I hurried to grab my camera while holding my little one and got this picture.



I thought that was pretty cool. I never heard of Santa signing a cast before. :)

Top 3 Green Living Tips



We're all trying to live green, but it's not always easy. If you go over here to LighterSaferGreener.com, you can share your tips and enter the contest to win Airwear eyewear for your entire family.

I would like to share some of the ways my family is going green.

- We reuse or recycle just about everything we can. Our local recycling plant is now recycling tin cans and cereal boxes.
- We no longer buy plastic water bottles and we encourage friends and families to make the switch, we even offer them their own reusable water bottle
- I started a recycling program at my work and bring home all the paper and plastics and recycle it.

Oh, there's so many ways to get started to go green and recycle. Other little things we do.
- reuse bread bags and newspaper bags to place dirty diapers.
- use the comics as wrapping paper. I love using the comics. Great for Father's Day too.
- reuse school papers to print coupons on
- started a compost. Composting is always a work in progress.

These are just a few ideas.

What cool things do you and your family do?

LuluGreen - Cloth Napkins Review and Giveaway

Want a great place to buy all your holiday gifts in one shop? Do you want to buy "green' gifts this year? Lulu Green is the place.

Lulu Green is an earth and people friendly department store. We offer everything from coffee to candy to toothpaste. So what’s the difference between us and all those big name stores where you usually shop? We offer cleaner, greener, healthier and more socially responsible alternatives to every day products. Want to clean your home without using harsh chemicals? We’ve got natural, non-toxic cleaners. Need a new chew toy for Spike? Try one you can recycle. Out of deodorant? We’ve got that, too.

I found so many things at Lulu Green that I want to buy this year for my friends and family. I'm very determined to shop green this year!

One thing that's been bugging me lately is paper napkins. I don't like buying them and we just throw them away after one wipe. Such waste!

Well, Lulu Green send me a set of six cloth napkins to review. We got the Beach Bound set, perfect for boys or girls. We love them! ( well my husband is a little slow to get on the cloth napkin bandwagon, but he's coming along) I don't know if this sounds bad, but I don't wash them after each meal, unless of course we have spaghetti or they really need it. I mean if we wipe once or twice and it's not really dirty, is it bad to use again? (I hope not)

The Fabkins Beach Bound pack will bring summer alive at any time of year. Each one of the five napkins has a unique design: beach ball, surfboards, woody car, palm tree, and sun. These super soft napkins are an excellent alternative to paper napkins in lunchboxes and on the dinner table because they are completely reusable!

They are made of soft 100% cotton and are completely machine washable
Lulu Green has kindly offered one Mommy Has to Work reader a set of cloth napkins as well!

To enter visit Lula Green and tell me what else you like.

Cloud Watching




Okay... so we're driving to baseball and I happened to have my camera to take some pics and I see this cool cloud! Of course I pulled over to take the picture ( I would never drive and take pictures) ;)

I say it looks like the United States, my son says no. What do you think?
